Northern Virginia Roll Call

I seem to be drinking my way thru Maui

 

Replaced mine a few weeks ago with an Interstate group 30 battery...not cheap tho

 

DeMello called me today and apologized for the super-long lead time for my front bumper. Said it will be shipped the week of the 14th. Gotta order the fogs for it now...any suggestions?

 

I believe kc makes a dot approved set of fog lights that might fit. The newer demello bumpers also i believe will fit a square pod light. I preferred amber.

 

did you look up Mach V? its across the street from @DOUBLLD

I want to see when they have an open house, so I can get my truck dyno'ed

 

I think they were the ones that recommended the iag aos. It was pricey, but they told Daniel they install them all the time and are high quality. It looked like a pain to install, so i am just having Daniel do it. Waiting now. I got here a bit early to let the engine cool down a bit.

 

I don’t know what AOS is. But have fun. I drove to tysons last night. Parking garages in a lifted truck=not fun. But at least the company was good.

I hate waiting!

 

Rugged Ridge makes some that fit in there (that's what's currently in mine [TacoCat's old bumper])
I know the Baja Designs Squadron series will fit
and @buyobuyo has the KC lights

they all look great IMO

 

Air oil separator. Like a catch can. But it dumps the oil bsck into the engine, so it never has to be emptied

 

lol I see my "humvee mod" to the cb antenna is taking off

 

I had a friend who put a leveling kit on his f150. Hit a low hanging pipe and dented the roof in a parking garage. Lots of back and forth with the garage owners, I think they ended up paying his insurance deductible

 

just to get through the garage without damage. As soon as I got to the street, it went back up

 

Matches the roofline of the prius.
Also, much better than having it get caught. When it lets loose its like a deadly weapon.

 

That's what he said.

 

yea I park in a garage every day that I drive it to work, so it stays bent over

but even with it bent over, it still works just fine on the trail for the short distance that we need to communicate.

I agree.... it took 1 day of smacking EVERY SINGLE roof beam in my parking garage at work for me to know I had to do something about it haha

 

I have KC gravity G4 universal fog lights on my Demello. They're DOT compliant.

PIAA makes a set of DOT fog lights that should fit as well. Baja Design lights are what Demello sells/recommends, but they aren't DOT compliant.

 

If you are going to upgrade, unless the 5 has a steep discount get the 6....its suppose to be a hell of an upgrade from the 5

 

Dude that garage was so low, I thought I was gonna hit for sure. My antennas were pissing me off so much I just stopped and removed them in the middle of the aisle. A 4' whip on the roof is no bueno in garages

 

Yeah it was weird cus I haven’t had any issues with it since I bought it in 2014 and just bam wouldn’t start after my kids football practice.
